Yes, the city services minister, Chris Steel, spoke about the street light dimming trial last month in the Assembly, so it feels like what is an obvious problematic issue to us, is finally being recognised and remedial solutions are taking hold, hopefully permanently and ongoing. If the main approaches become standard, we may be able to slow or even holt the growing light dome of Canberra
